Each year we ask organization and companies to join the European Commission in celebrating diversity and inclusion in the workplace by organizing their own internal and external events focused on the topic of diversity throughout the whole month of May. The European Diversity Month is organised with the support from the 27 Diversity Charters that have been established in Europe since 2004.

These Charters provide support and promote best practices in diversity management to thousands of leading multinational companies, SMEs, public organisations and non-profit organisations. The European Platform of Diversity Charters now covers 27 national Diversity Charters, representing over 17.000 signatory organisations and more than 17 million employees.

D&I Living Library

Each year, the Romanian Diversity Charter organizes a D&I Living Library event dedicated to its signatories. This initiative brings together organizations committed to diversity and inclusion, creating a safe and authentic space for open dialogue and meaningful exchanges between “human books” and their “readers”.

Through personal stories and direct conversations, the D&I Living Library encourages participants to explore different perspectives, challenge stereotypes, address topics related to diversity and inclusion, and build a deeper understanding of the experiences and challenges faced by others. After years of supporting organizations on their diversity and inclusion journeys, the Romanian Diversity Charter recognizes the importance of creating opportunities for signatories to connect, share experiences, and learn from one another.

The D&I Living Library serves as a powerful tool to promote diversity, challenge discrimination, strengthen collaboration among signatory organizations, and advance the diversity and inclusion agenda. By bringing people together in an open and respectful environment, the initiative supports the development of more inclusive workplaces and contributes to building a society where everyone feels valued and respected.
